Wrong
Everything But the Girl Lyrics

I wanted everything for a little while.
I desired complete fulfillment in my life, even if only for a short period of time.

Why shouldn't I?
I didn't see any reason why I couldn't have everything I wanted.

I wanted to know what it was like.
I was curious about experiencing something new.

But I pushed you too far.
I went too far and exceeded your personal boundaries.

I know.
I am aware of my mistake.

And you started laying down the law.
You began setting clear boundaries and expectations.

'Til I didn't love you any more.
I continued crossing your boundaries until your love for me diminished.

Now you can pull a little bit.
You can exert some force to balance the relationship.

There's a little give and take.
Compromise is necessary in any relationship.

And love will stretch a little bit.
Love has the capacity to overcome and endure hardships.

But finally it's gonna break.
If stretched too far, love will eventually reach its breaking point.

Wherever you go I will follow you, 'Cause I was wrong.
I am willing to make amends and follow you because I was at fault.

So there we both were in that little house, Just hanging out.
We were casually spending time together in a small setting.

You didn't know what you were about.
You were uncertain about your course of action.

You turned to me as you were threading daisies on a chain.
You sought my support as you engaged in a calming activity.

And you said, 'It's decision time again.'
You recognized the need to make a decision.

And the ground's gonna swallow you.
You will have to face the consequences of your decisions.

I was wrong.
I admit my mistake.

I was wrong.
I acknowledge my wrongdoing.

I was wrong.
I take full responsibility for my error.

I was wrong.
I regret my actions and their impact on you.
